Olympic relay champion Veronica Stepanova spoke about the failure of the mass departure of students to the Spartakiad, as a result of which the skiers were seriously injured.
Cross-country skiing competitions are held in the village of Estosadok. Friday, during the general start race, several skiers were injured following a fall. Earlier, the president of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe told that two athletes were in hospital: one suffered a head injury, the second had a broken arm.
“We can spend years convincing teenagers and their parents that skiing is wonderful, that it is synonymous with strength and health. And then they see today’s footage of “Laura” and think: “Why the hell do I need all this!” » Those who allow children to compete in such conditions and those who think it is “nothing special” simply do not understand that such an incident spreads on social networks and media, becoming much more popular than any competition.
Health is the most important thing. A speedy recovery to all participants in the Laura race. Please, if you are unsure, if you think it is not safe to go to the start, don’t do it! Do not go out. That’s what I would do. Life and health are worth more than metal with a ribbon,” Stepanova wrote on her Telegram channel.
The Adler District Prosecutor’s Office of Sochi organized an investigation into the incident on the highway.
